“The official Xinhua News Agency said the rate of flow in the reservoir behind the dam would hit a record for the year on Friday night, at 55,000 square meters (almost 600,000 square feet) per second.”
Rate of flow in area per unit of time? Doesn’t make sense.
> Rate of flow in area per unit of time? Doesn’t make sense.
“Journalists” there are on the same mental plane as “journalists” here.
Journalists who majored in Gender Studies don't have time for details like proper units of measure.
Units of measure are white supremacist, racist, sexist, capitalist, imperialist concepts!!
Don'tcha know....
They must mean cubic meters, not square meters. Probably a translator error.
Science and precise measurement = Whiteness/racism, according to the Smithsonian museum.
I hope they meant CUBIC METERS/SECOND; otherwise this doesn’t make any sense at all.
But then again any JOURNALIST WILL TELL YOU “MATH IS HARD”.
